Description
Thermion 2 LRF XQ Prothermal imaging riflescopes are designed for use
both at night-time and during the day. They provide exceptional image
quality even in adverse weather conditions such as fog, smog and rain
without being hindered by obstacles like branches, tall grass, dense foliage,
or other debris.
Unlike riflescopes based on electrical-to-optical converters, thermal imaging
riflescopes do not require an external light source and are resistant to high
levels of illumination.
These riflescopes come with a built-in high precision rangefinder with a
maximum range of 800 meters (875 yards).
These riflescopes are designed for hunting, target shooting and other forms
of recreational shooting.

To ensure accurate shooting the Thermion 2 LRF XQ Proriflescope should
be properly mounted on the rifle.
Mount the riflescope with 30mm scope rings or a single-piece scope
mount, purchased separately. Use only high-quality mounts and rings
compatible with your rifle. Follow the mount manufacturer's installation
instructions and use the proper tools.
When mounting the riflescope, adjust the position of the scope on the
rifle to achieve optimal, comfortable eye relief as specified by the
Technical Specifications. Failure to comply with this recommendation

may result in injury to the shooter.
Install the riflescope as low as comfortably possible without contacting
the barrel or receiver.
In order to avoid pinching the riflescope body, tighten ring screws to a
maximum of 2.5 Nm (22.1 in.-lbs). Using a torque wrench is
recommended.
Using the included eyecup (1) is recommended to increase camouflage
and avoid detection. The eyecup is mounted on the riflescope's
eyepiece via integral magnets.

Laser Rangefinder
Show device diagram
The riflescope is equipped with a built-in rangefinder (14), allowing you to
measure distance to objects up to 800 m away.
How the rangefinder works:
1. Turn on the riflescope, adjust image according to section Powering on
and Image Setting.
2. Briefly press the LRF (3)button to measure the distance. The rangefinder
reticle will appear in the centre of the image. In the top right corner of the

display you will see distance in meters (or yards - depending on settings).
3. If PiP mode is on, the aiming reticle disappears upon activation of the
rangefinder, but in the PiP window remains active.
4. If PiP mode is off, the activation of the rangefinder automatically turns on
the PiP window with the last digital magnification set for it and a reticle in it.
5. Point the rangefinding reticle at an object and press LRF(3) button.
Notes:
If the rangefinder is idle longer than three seconds, it turns off
automatically and aiming reticle appears.
The point of aiming of the rangefinding reticle and the aiming reticle in
the PiP window might not coincide due to aiming reticle shift after
zeroing.
Operation in SCAN mode:
1. Turn on the rangefinder by briefly pressing the LRF(3) button.
2. Hold down LRF(3) button for longer than two seconds. Measurement
readings will be changing in real time as you point the riflescope at different
objects. In the top right corner a message SCAN appears.

3. In case of unsuccessful measurement dashes will appear on the display.
4. To exit SCAN mode and to return to stand-by mode, press LRF(3) button
briefly.
5. To turn off the rangefinder hold the LRF(3) button.
Notes:
To select a rangefinding reticle, please go to submenu Rangefinderin
the main menu.
To select units of measurement (meters or yards) go to submenu
General Settings in the main menu.
While you measure the distance in the SCANmode you can use the
reticle of the PiP window to make a shot.
Additional Information:
Accuracy of measurement and maximum range depend on the reflection
ratio of the target surface, the angle at which the emitting beam falls on
the target surface and environmental conditions. Reflectivity is also
affected by surface texture, color, size and shape of the target. A shiny
or brightly colored surface is normally more reflective than a dark
surface.
Accuracy of measurement can also be affected by light conditions, fog,
haze, rain, snow etc. Ranging performance can degrade in bright
conditions or when ranging towards the sun.

Measuring range to a small sized target is more difficult than to a large
sized target.

The object is behind glass, which obstructs thermal vision.
Solution
Remove the glass.
Poor image quality / Reduced detection
distance
Possible cause
These problems may occur during observation in adverse weather
conditions (snow, rain, fog etc.).
There are several light or black dots (pixels)
on riflescope’s display or microbolometer
Solution
The presence of dots is caused by peculiarities of microbolometer or
display production technology and is not a defect.
When the device is used in low temperature
conditions the image quality is worse than in
positive temperatures.

Possible cause
In warm climates, objects in the background of a thermal image heat up
differently because of thermal conductivity, generating a high
temperature contrast and a sharper thermal image.
In cold climates, objects in the background of a thermal image will cool
down to roughly the same temperature, which leads to a greatly
reduced temperature contrast and a degraded image quality. This is
normal for all thermal imaging devices.
Rangefinder will not measure distance
Possible cause
There is an object in front of the receiver or emitter lens preventing
signal transmission.
Solution
Make sure that: the lenses are not blocked by your hand or fingers; the
lenses are clean.
